The rough guy who wears it fast is too strong

As soon as Huangfu Huai returned to the palace, he sent his cronies to secretly take the assassin leader into Jinyiwei's prison. There were too many people in the Ministry of Punishment, including Grand Master Zhang, and only Jinyiwei was completely loyal to the royal family.

"Cang Qing, those things were found from the assassin. They may be useful to you. This person will be interrogated strictly and just take a breath. You must let him reveal the murderer behind the scenes."

Huangfu Huai told Cang Xi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the whole process of the assassination on his way back to Beijing, and handed over to him the assassin's leader and the things found.

"Yes!" Cang Xi clasped his fists and nodded.

"Go down."

As soon as Cang Xi left, Huangfu Huai immediately took the disaster relief bank account book and the list of relevant ministers that Zhao Huan gave him and went straight to the imperial study.

When Huangfu Jue heard that the prince was back, he was about to put down the memorial and go find him. When he raised his eyes, he saw Huangfu Huai walking in with a serious face. He quickly got up and stepped forward, "You idiot! Where have you been for so many days! Do you still know? return?"

He was scolded, but he still looked at Huangfu Huai from top to bottom, and was relieved when he found that nothing happened.

After blowing his nose and scolding for a few more times, he sighed softly,

"Well, your father and I are your only son. If something happens to you, how can I go down and explain to your mother a hundred years from now..."

Huangfu Huai waited for Huangfu Jue to finish scolding him, then took out the account book and list in his arms and handed them to him. Then he briefly told Huangfu Jue his experience of investigating the disaster relief fund incognito and running away after being killed.

"Father, I only knew that they were corrupt, but I didn't expect them to be so corrupt!

Not a single cent of the 300,000 taels of disaster relief money reached the victims!

Zhao Huan, the governor of Zhang County, used his personal money to help the victims, but the house was burned down the next day. If I hadn't been afraid that he was in danger and asked him to bring his wife and children to Beijing overnight, their whole family would have been burned alive. Burned to death...

Father, in the disaster years when the land was full of hunger and death, they actually took bribes and perverted the law for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, treating human lives as nothing. Father, it’s really time to take action this time! "

Huangfu Huai clenched his fists angrily and pursed his lips.

Huangfu Jue thought for a while before speaking, "The time is not yet ripe."

"Then when will it be mature? Father! If these moths are not eliminated, the country will be hollowed out by them sooner or later! Besides, your son has been assassinated, and you are still so indifferent?!" Huangfu Huai suddenly turned black with anger.

Huangfu Jue sighed: "Why don't I want to take them all to Caishikou and behead them immediately? But the person behind them is Master Zhang. Master Zhang holds an army of 100,000 people, and half of the people in the court are his people. , I can’t touch him now.

If he rebels, the people will suffer even more.

What's more, an unknown account book and list cannot be used as evidence at all. "

Huangfu Huai was furious: "My son has caught the assassin's leader. As long as he is related to Grand Master Zhang, his crime of murdering the current prince cannot be denied, right?!"

"Do you think you can find out the real employer from an assassin?"

As soon as Huangfu Jue said this, Huangfu Huai paused. Indeed, not to mention that people like assassins would not betray their employers even if they were killed, it was basically impossible for him to know who his real employer was.

There are so many people under Grand Master Zhang that there is no need for him to take action personally.

Huangfu Huai took a deep breath to calm down. It seemed that he and his father couldn't solve this matter. He could only wait for the one in his body to come out. Maybe there was a way to deal with it...

Right now he has one more thing to do...

"Dad, I want to marry the princess."

Huangfu Jue was almost shocked. He had arranged so many banquets, but his son didn't like any of them. He was almost anxious to death. He almost thought that his son might have a broken sleeve... This time He went missing and actually got his daughter-in-law back?

"Which family is she from? My father will arrange to propose marriage to you tomorrow!"

"Ahem, she's not a young lady from a rich family..." Huangfu Huai's face turned slightly red when he thought of Chu Li. He coughed lightly, and after explaining clearly the cause and effect with Chu Li, he quickly continued,

"Father, you may not think of her as a folk woman, but she knows astronomy and geography! She is beautiful and charming, and her beauty is stunning! She is superb in martial arts and has a pure heart! And she is also a lucky star..."

Then he told everything about the good fortune that Chu Li brought to the whole village along the way, and how he led the whole village to catch the bandits, etc. Of course, there was an element of exaggeration...

After saying that, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know if his father would let him marry a powerless folk woman...

As a result, Huangfu Jue not only did not object, he happily agreed immediately, "Okay, okay! Your mother is really not bullying me! Hahahaha..."

While laughing, he took out the auspicious zodiac days calculated by the Ministry of Rites from the table, "It will be auspicious in thirteen days, and it is time to get married! The dates have been calculated for you a long time ago, and I am waiting for you to get married!"

Huangfu Huai was a little confused for a moment, "Dad, what do you mean if my mother sincerely doesn't deceive you..."

Huangfu Jue smiled with his teeth exposed, "When your mother gave birth to you, she told you a fortune telling that you would meet a very lucky girl in the future. This girl would be very lucky and could help you turn danger into safety. , and make the country prosperous and turn the world around!"

Speaking of this, Huangfu Jue's expression became more serious, "Huai'er, have you recognized her? You must bear in mind the family rules set by your mother, 'No concubines.' You must think carefully. If you recognize her, you must be like me." The same two people for life..."

"Father, I firmly believe that I will not marry anyone other than her!" Huangfu Huai's attitude was firm.

"By the way, Father, I'm going to give her the grandest wedding ceremony, with half the treasury as a gift, a sixteen-year-old sedan, ten miles of red makeup, a gold-plated phoenix robe..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huangfu Jue coughing, "What, the national treasury is not very full... it has been used for disaster relief..." Huangfu Jue said with a guilty conscience and did not dare to Look at Huangfu Huai.

Huangfu Huai:......

An hour later, Huangfu Huai came out of the empty treasury, feeling hopeless...

"What about that, Your Highness, maybe the Za family has some money here, how about..." Before he finished speaking, Huangfu Huai's eyes suddenly lit up.

So, the next day, the maids and eunuchs in the palace no longer smiled...

Everyone's money was coerced and coerced by Huangfu Huai. They didn't want to hand it over, but because of Huangfu Huai's power, who dared not to hand it over...

Not only that, he also looted everything of value in Huangfu Jue's courtyard, left behind by his deceased mother, and in his house.

But neither his father nor he had much money...

The only two gold ingots found were quickly handed over to the embroiderer to embroider the golden phoenix robe...
